Advice to Cotton Planters.

II is estimated that the South will
this year, for the first time in its his
tory probably, raise enough corn for
home consumption, instead Of draining
her wealth away for the benefit OF
Northern producers of that cereal.
This Is just what the South should and
could do every year, il 1t were not for
the cotton planting mania and to corn
should be added pork and bacon, and
many other necessaries of lite hereto
fore largely purchased elsewhere, but
which can be produced i'll the South
with great profit. IL the people of the
South could see a statement showing
the sum total of money they send to
the Northern States every year to pur-
chase what they could just as well pro-
duce at home, it would slar,le them
by its magnitude. BY greater di-
versity of crops the Southern planter
would benefit himself in two ways.

Truck Farming.

The Natchez Democrat recently pub.
lished an able communication on the
subject Of truck farming which led the
Democrat into making the following
sound editorial comment. 1t Is appli-
cable here:
Thore is an interest being aroused in tho
ing and tho cultivation Of fruits of all:kinds.
We most sincerely hope that the farmers of
this country will align themselves with
those on all the railroad limos in tho South.
or one thing we feel certain, tho farmers
of this section; particularly in the hill lands
will never become an independent commu-
nifty rs long as they depend on the cotton
crop alone for an income The experiment
1t seems to us, has been triod long enough
to convince the most incredulous of this
fact. For twenty years, since the close of
sectional hostilities. the bulk of the farmers
of tho South have boon trying in vain to
mako tho production of this single crop
profitable. II we listen to tho com plants
OF those whose,personal experience directs
them, most OF tho cotton farmers are going
back instead of forward in the accunula-
ton of II competency.
Under tho one crop system their lands
arc beng worn out, producing less ovory
year, and they find that their hard labor
in producing this single crop is not suili-
Gent to pay for tho food and necessaries
they could just as we'll produce ut home.
THOR cotton Is marketed ut the end of the
year and when they settle their mere huut's
bills. it is found that they must again ask
for credit for supplies with which to make
another crop for tho merchant.
How long will it DO before Ivy the pro-
auction of varied crops, they will to on
ablcd to pay tho cash for what they buy mt
all seasons OF tho year? This is what va
ricd farming will enable thcm to do. The
strawberry crop wilt give them cash ut one
season OF the year; the potato crop ut
another; the vast amount of yegetnblcs
cabbagos, cucumbers, tomatoes, peas, beans
and every variety of vegetables, all of
which arc Of ready sale at prices more
rcmnnerative and Just rs certain as that
of cotton, will enable thom to pay FOR what
they buy during tho year, with an assur-
ance OF having something left at its close.
lfthe farmers of this country would select
some favorable opportunity when u large
| number of them could be brought together,
and combine to try the experiment OF truck
farming OH II scale that would not DO ruin
Gus even il it failed, taste for varied
farming would result that would be proiita-
bic to tho whole community. If they
would got together on some public occa-
sion aud secure the services of experienced
truck and fruit raisers from other sections
to address them we do not doubt that they
would receive practical suggestions that
would wean them of from their etiete
idolatry of the dethroned king Cotton.

A Vermont inventor, ID. B. Stevens,
of Burlington has given successful tests
of dynamite shell fired from an Ordi-
nary field piece with powder. He
took an ordinary twetve-pound shell,
and, after extracting from it the usual
charge of iron and explosives, packed
in it by his secret process one-hali
pound OF dynamite. Two and one
half pounds Of powder were used for a
propelling force. To the dynamite
charge was attached time fuse, which
was adjusted so that an explosion took
place at one and half seconds after
the shell left the gun. The gun was
placed on the brow OF the hill back of
the State Arsenal aud five charges
were fred. One of these was sent
through Il two-inch plank standing
about thirty rods from the muZzle of
the gun. No explosion took place I'M
til The shell reached the hill about Il hal
mile away, showing that the charge
OF dynamite was protected so that it
which discharged it. Other shells
were fired into the air, and, when the
time-timit of the fuse was reached, they
exploded with II loud report. This is
the first successful instance known
where high explosives have been fired

Manuring Cannot be OVcrdOne.

The venerable Peter Henderson
thinks manuring cannot be overdonc,
and says:
1t is n great blunder to attempt to grow
vegetable crops without the use of M anurss

of any Kind that had borne Il crop of vege-
tables that would produce rs good crop
the next season without the use of manure,
no matter how rich the soil may be though.
to be. An illustration of this came under
my observation last season. Ono of my
neiShbors, market gardner Of twenty
years experience, aud whose grounds have
always bsen perfect model OF productive
ness, had it lit prospect to run sixty foot
street through his grounds. Thinking his
land sufficiently rich to carry through n
crop of cabbages without manure, no
thought ii useless to waste money by using
gaano on that portion on which the street
was to be, but on each side he sowed guano
ut the rate of GOO pounds to the acre, and
planted the whole with early cabbages. The
effect was the most marked 1 ever saw.
That portion Oh which the gaano had been
used sold OF readily ut Sl2 per hundred; or
about 81 400 per acre, both price aud crop
being more than the average; but the por-
ton from which tho quauo had been with
held hardly averaged IS per hundred. The
